Just like the PATRIOT Act “only” targeted terrorists. It was an “accident” and they didn’t “wittingly” mean to bulk collect US Citizens.<p>Everything the government touches goes to shit. They WILL ALWAYS abuse the power they obtain.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abcnews.go.com&#x2F;US&#x2F;americas-top-spy-james-clapper-made-mistake-lie&#x2F;story?id=37003608" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abcnews.go.com&#x2F;US&#x2F;americas-top-spy-james-clapper-mad...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apnews.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;business-33a88feb083ea35515de3c73e3d854ad" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apnews.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;business-33a88feb083ea35515de3c73...</a><p>Fuck these liars.

Based on past performance, I do not believe them. They may as well have been winking and nudging their friends while saying this...

BS. Don&#x27;t tell us your opinion or presumed intentions. Put it in the bill itself, which is broad enough to touch every technology that uses the internet.

But it also COULD because it is overly broad. Vote it down and try again.<p>Perhaps take a look at the Unix philosophy of command line tool design. Do one thing, do it well.

The opinions of lawmakers is not relevant; the text of the law is.

Unless it very specifically says that in the bill, it <i>could</i> target individuals later on.

Then put that explicitly in the bill, but they won&#x27;t!
